Big Brother (5 and 6/7/10)

Well those predicted fireworks didn't take long to detonate. The last two nights of Big Brother have been dominated by fights between Ife, Caiomhe and Shabby - culminating in Shabby's leaving the compound last night.

It's good that Shabby's gone. She was childish, petulant, tantrumy, controlling. However in all of the fights over the last couple of days she has come out a darn sight better than Caiomhe, who seems to genuinely enjoy upsetting people and not showing any remorse for it. Like the prototypical mean girl - exactly what Ife accused the two of being when they made her feel embarrassed about dancing - Caiomhe depends on her gang for her power, so it will be interesting to see what happens now Shabby has gone. Shabby in this whole situation, to her credit, did show remorse. She's certainly not a bully, just a bit twatty.

Two interesting insights from nommos last night - tension between Ife and Ben (Ben accused her of not having a sense of humour - I think he's probably right), and FINALLY someone has noticed that it's not just that John James has a go at people for no good reason, but that those people are ALWAYS WOMEN. Oh yeah. John James just loves getting angry at the fairer sex. But you'd never see him going off at Nathan, or even Ben. The coward. Good on Steve for pointing that one out, and I hope he does so to his face soon.

Next to go: Nathan (whom I dislike after his intimidating behaviour last night)
Final five: Josie, Mario, Ben, Corin, Steve
To win: Josie (she really is emerging as a pretty special housemate)

Update: John James has been starting to attack Ben in recent weeks - can we attribute to Ben's ambiguous gendering?
